Battersea - Jimi Jamison

A war torn town along the ancient banks of the River Thames

I was captured by a glance I didn’t understand

She lookin' through me there in Battersea

A cold stone pub, I was searching for asylum weary from the road

She whispered that my life was stuck in overload

How did she know there in Battersea?

Then through the night just like two strangers paging through a life gone by

We lived our dreams and read each other minds

We locked silent combat 'till the dawn

For one fearless moment never to repeat itself

For one reckless moment we walked on fire with heaven’s help

They call to me, those days and nights there in Battersea

From Wandsworth Bridge we watched the sacred waters rushing to the sea

Could two random hearts find eternity?

It was you and me there in Battersea

Now years from then I am settled safely in the blur of life

My journey takes me back to that one night

And a girl that changed my heart with just one glance

Sometimes the night takes you under its spell

Makes you lose all control

Come out of your shell

(Someday)

I might go back to that magical place

And look for that girl just one more
